Blog Hop: Spring Gardening Hop with TLC Creations

If you live in the northern hemisphere, this weekend officially marks the start of spring! So, it is fitting that we have a Spring Garden themed blog hop!

You should have arrived here from the talented Karen's blog. If you are just starting, you can find a full list of all the hop stops at the bottom of this post.For my card, I got to use the cool seed packet image you see below. Paulette is generously offering up the image as a freebie to everyone who
participates in the hop and stops by my blog; so, be sure to head on over to her BLOG and leave her some love if you grab it!

To
save image, left click to bring it up in the lightbox in its full
size and then right click and scroll down to 'save image as'.

Time to check out the card I created...General Information:

This
card was created 100% digitally and then layered in a poster mockupdesigned byDesign Bolts.

FRONT

Digital Image Details:

Musk Melon Seed Pack Vintage: As
mentioned previously, the image used on the front is the freebie that
Paulette is allowing me to offer up on my blog. You can grab it above.

I
havecoloured parts of it digitally.

Digital Sentiment Details:

The "G is for Garden" sentiment was a freebie I picked up awhile back and was also created by Paulette. For more wonderful freebies, click HERE to head to Paulette's blog. Click HERE to go to the home page of the store.

Digital Embellishments:

The circle and pennant shapes are tag shapes and were created from templates purchased from Marisa Lerin, Pixel Scrapper.

INSIDE

OVERALL Digital Embellishments:

The
shape used for matting in behind the sentiment on the inside is a simple
shape created in Photoshop Elements.

The shadows to give each element some depth were created with a layer style, from Sheila Reid, also with Pixel Scrapper.

I used all the papers from my Simply Spring mini kit.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for the clipart digi of the muskmelon. It looks like a cantaloupe to me. Love your card. Those sentiments are great. I like the garden trowel from Scribbles inside. You did a great job on your card. Thanks for sharing. Edwina Brown

Love how you combined a couple of Paulette's creations on your card. The inside gave me a giggle!I suppose we must be officially at the start of autumn here! I'm looking forward to seeing all those gorgeous autumn colours.

About Me

Hi! My name is Lisa and welcome to my blog. Whether drawing, painting, cross-stitching, card making, or doing nail art, I've been 'creating' since I was knee high to a grasshopper. At the end of 2011, I really started getting interested in the world of card making and nail art. I knew that there were already a lot of creative card makers, digi stamp designers, and nail artists out there and I continue to learn a lot from them, but I needed a place to showcase my work so I could enter some challenges and as a result, created this blog in October of 2012.
I live in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I am happily married to my college sweetheart and we have been married for over 27 years. We were never blessed with children so our 'babies' have always been cats. Currently, we have one female tabby named Marigold.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a blast!
